you can use youtube without a google account?

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can. You can't subscribe or use it ad free but I have no issues going to YouTube and just searching for what I need. No account required.

Yes, I should have said you can't subscribe or watch add free without 3rd party software like adblockers and software like newpipe.
